    The document discusses Li-Fi technology, which uses light-emitting diodes and visible light communication to transmit data wirelessly. It was invented by Professor Harald Haas and the first prototype was demonstrated in 2014. Li-Fi provides higher data rates than existing wireless technologies and can transmit data through illumination without interfering with radio signals. However, it requires line-of-sight and cannot transmit through walls like Wi-Fi. Potential applications include use in traffic lights, airlines, hospitals and street lamps.

    Li-Fi Technology
    INTRODUCTION
     LiFi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses
    light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission.

     LiFi is designed to use LED light bulbs similar to those


    currently in use in many energy-conscious homes and
    offices.

     However, LiFi bulbs are outfitted with a chip that modulates


    the light imperceptibly for optical data transmission.

     LiFi data is transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by


    photoreceptors.
    HISTORY
     Professor Harald Haas, from the University of Edinburgh in
    the UK, is widely recognized as the original founder of Li-
    Fi.
     He coined the term Li-Fi and is Chair of Mobile
    Communications at the University of Edinburgh and co-
    founder of pureLiFi.
     Haas promoted this technology in his 2011 TED Global talk
    and helped start a company to market it.
     In October 2011, companies and industry groups formed the
    Li-Fi Consortium, to promote high-speed optical wireless
    systems.
     The first Li-Fi smartphone prototype was presented at the
    Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 7–
    10 in 2014.
    Comparison between Various Technologies
    Wired

    Fire wire 800 Mbps


    USB 3.0 5 Gbps
    Thunderbolt 20 Gbps

    Wireless(Current)

    Wi-Fi 150 Mbps


    Bluetooth 3 Gbps
    IrDA 4 Gbps

    Wireless(Future)
    Li-Fi 10 Gbps

    Giga-IR 1 Gbps
    Wi-Gig 2Gbps
    HOW LI-FI WORKS?
     On one end all the data on internet will
    be streamed to a lamp driver when the
    LED is turned on the microchip converts
    the digital in form of light.
     A light sensitive divides(photodetector)
    receives the signal and converts it back
    into original data. This method of
    using rapid pulses of light to transmit
    information wirelessly is technically
    referred as visible light communication
    HOW IT IS DIFFERENT?

     Li-Fi technology is based on LEDs for the


    transfer of data.
     The transfer of the data can be with the help of
    all kinds of light, no matter the part of the
    spectrum that they belong.
     That is, the light can belong to the invisible,
    ultraviolet or the visible part of the spectrum.
    WIFI VS LIFI
     Li-Fi can be thought of as a light-based Wi-Fi. That
    is, it uses light instead of radio waves to transmit
    information.
     Instead of Wi-Fi modems, Li-Fi would use
    transceiver-fitted LED lamps that can light a room as
    well as transmit and receive information.
     Wi Fi is great for general wireless coverage within
    building and Li Fi is ideal for high density wireless
    date coverage in confined area and for relieving radio
    interference issues.
     So the two technologies can be considered
    complimentary.
    APPLICATIONS AREA
     Traffic lights
     In safe environment
     Hospitals
     Street lamps
     Airlines
     Undersea Awesomeness
    ADVANTAGES OF LI-FI

     Li-Fi can solve problems related to the insufficiency of


    radio frequency bandwidth because this technology uses
    Visible light spectrum that has still not been greatly
    utilized.

     High data transmission rates of up to 10Gbps can be


    achieved.

     Since light cannot penetrate walls, it provides privacy


    and security that Wi-Fi cannot.
     
     Li-Fi has low implementation and maintenance costs.
    DISADVANTAGE
     Light can't pass through objects.
     A major challenge facing Li-Fi is how the receiving
    device will transmit back to transmitter.
     High installation cost of the VLC systems.
     Interferences from external light sources like sun, light,
    normal bulbs, opaque materials.
    CONCLUSION

     The possibilities are numerous and can be explored further.

     If his technology can be put into practical use, every bulb


    can be used something like a Wi-Fi hotspot to transmit
    wireless data and we will proceed toward the cleaner,
    greener, safer and brighter future.
